What's the best way to clean a throttle body that is removed from the car? If I remove the TPS & ISCV sensors is it ok to soak the body overnight in paraffin to loosen the crud?

cellulose thinners is better
Will get some of that - thanks.
Get 'cleaning' cellulose thinners. Often called 'cooking thinners'. Quite good enough for washing purposes, and much cheaper than that made for spraying. Last can I baught cost about £6 for 5 litres. Mike.
Trust this helps.
Netto had an inexpensive, small ultrasonic cleaner on sale some time ago. Primarily it was for home jewelry cleaning. If you have to clean small car parts *regularly*, a device such as this, which can produce super-clean, back to factory-fresh components effortlessly, may be worth considering.
